yeast infection treatment after antibiotics- WHEN?

by nospeaking, Oct 07, 2008 11:16AM
I have been taking antibiotics for the past two weeks due to some serious dental work that has been going on with me. I ended up having a large abcess (abscess) that needed to be drained and the infection was so severe, that my eye was almost swollen shut on morning when I woke up. The dentist had first prescribed me amoxicillin and that was not working so good so she said she was going to give me a stronger antibiotic called cyclobenzaprine. I have been taking these two antibiotics for two weeks straight now and she had told me that because of the fact of not only am I taking antibiotics, I am also on birth control pills, that I will probably develop a yeast infection.-SURE ENOUGH ! , I got one. My question is, how soon after my antibiotics are gone should I begin my yeast infection treatment?- Do I start the next day after my antibiotics are gone or do I need to wait for some of the antibiotics to leave my system before begining the yeast infection treatment and wait a day or two or three?? Please someone help so I know when to start and when not to!
